I replaced my electric furnace with a heat pump. It takes up the same space as the old furnace, so you're not wasting any space inside the house. There is an outside unit, but we just put it on the side of the house where we don't see or hear it. They are noisy outside, that's one thing they don't always tell you. When the temps are too cold out, there are still electric elements inside the unit in the house. Sure, that's probably not saving me any power when it's running, but most of the time it's not. It pretty much only kicks in when there's a big temp differential between desired temp and current temp. It's basically like having the best of both worlds. Plus, as a bonus, I got A/C for the summer to offset all my winter savings.
